If a recipe calls for \(2\dfrac{2}{3}\) cups of flour and Terell wants to make \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of the recipe, then in order to determine how much flour he should use, he has to multiply \(2\dfrac{2}{3}\) by \(\dfrac{3}{4}\).
Note that
\(2\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot 3+2}{3}=\dfrac{8}{3}.\)
Therefore,
\(2\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{8}{3}\cdot \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{8\cdot 3}{3\cdot 4}=2\) cups of flour.
Answer: 2 cups of flour - choice D
